Reflections from Katie
The Spring 2015 MCAS results are in, and for those of you who have children who took the test (current 4th and 5th graders), the individual score reports are either already in your hands or on their way in the mail. I wanted to take a moment and share with you some of my own reflections on this year’s results. Read more >>
Caring for Our Cambridgeport Staff
A huge thanks goes out to the Cambridgeport families and community members who donated money and time to support a transformation of our staff room. The parents who spearheaded this campaign, Caring for Our Cambridgeport Staff, felt strongly that they wanted to create a space where teachers could go and feel taken care of. This fund allowed for a complete make-over of the space. The whole Cambridgeport staff feels grateful for the hard work put in by parents. It’s nice to feel taken care of in this way.
